Equal pros and cons
Rooms are a bit small. Bathroom seemed like it might have had some black mold on the wall and has mild smell that never goes away. Hotel restaurant wasn't good. No complimentary coffee or tea for the room. Staff is nice. Location is great. Terrace jacuzzi is great, but closing access at 7pm is way too early for people who want to do all the sightseeing.
Beautiful place peaceful and short walk to Main Street

This was a decent stay. Staff were nice and the room was spacious. The walls and towels had minor stains on them, but nothing to complain about because I know the towels were clean. I didn’t use the restaurant on the property. Overall, it was a decent stay, but I don’t know that it was worth the price.
Hotel sin pretenciones pero con instalaciones acogedoras, limpias y con muy buena ubicación. El mirador con jacuzzi es un gran plus para pasar un rato relajante admirando la vista.
Hotel Casa del Sótano appears to be a well-regarded hotel in Oaxaca, praised for its excellent service, cleanliness, prime location, and charming Oaxacan character. While some minor issues like small bathrooms and hard bed, but nonetheless, the comfortable and convenient base for exploring Oaxaca
indicates the reason I would stay there again.

I liked the fact that it was close to restaurants and shopping. The employees were very helpful and friendly. Room kept very clean. What I didn’t like was the location of the toilet bar. It was behind me instead of to the right or left of me. Hard to twist your body to get to the toilet paper. The room also didn’t have a bath or hand towel bar. It only had a hook.
Close enough to downtown but without the noise. It is small but has everything you need.
Got 2 king rooms, one was great and the other was not. The ac did not work well in one. The drain smell was bad. A chair was very soiled and towels were bad. You get what you paid for.
The workers were very nice, courteous and helpful.
Great location. Quiet. Safe area. Water provided daily. Good options for breakfast. Nice historic property. Room needs a safe. Towels need replacing. Showerhead needs replacing.

Good location with access to many great restaurants and close enough to the zocalo. Good AC and room darkness. Access to hotel controlled by magnetic lock and rooms vary between key card and key. Unfortunately no fridge or safe. Nice colonial hotel with central greenery. Towels need an upgrade. The door to access room is a colonial split door which is cool but does not provide privacy. We hung a dress on the inside of the door to correct. Bathroom is a bit small. Nice sitting areas throughout. Would stay again.
I loved the beautiful colonial architecture, the furnishings, the courtyard and all the outdoor plants, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant had good food, though they're only open for breakfast & lunch (7:30am - 1:00pm). But there are loads of good restaurants & cafes all around in walking distance. Its a,short walk to the Santo Domingo church & botanical gatden, and the zocalo/town square are also in walking distance. No pool, but theres a jacuzzi on the roof with a fantastic view. I loved this place & I would stay here again.
Single bed room a bit small: narrow path of bed against wall.
Food was good and well priced (economical.
Bathroom, sink and shower in marginal condition.
